Botafogo vs Grêmio Prediction: What else will happen to Botafogo?

The team that completely dominated the Brasileirão from the start has fallen into self-destruction and despite still being in first place, few believe in Botafogo now. The Cariocas have gone four games without a win and have lost their last three games. The statistics for the second half of the season show that Botafogo has the third-worst record. Only Coritiba and América, the bottom teams in the league performed worst. In its last 12 Série A games, the leader has won just three, drawn another three, and lost six.

It's difficult to describe this team at such a chaotic time. Under Luiz Castro, the coach who left for Al-Nassr, Botafogo played good football based on a solid defense and an objective style of play, trying to reach the opponent's penalty area quickly. Today, after several managers, the team is unrecognizable, trapped in its fears. There is still discussion within the club's management about the possibility of coach Lúcio Flávio leaving with only a few games left in the league. With four coaches in the same season, there is no stability. Everyone will need a great deal of willpower to lift Botafogo in the final phase of the Brasileirão.

The Immortal is going through an excellent period with four wins in a row. As Botafogo has only managed one point in the last four games, this means that Grêmio has recovered 11 points in this short period and still has a chance of reaching the title. The Gaúchos aren't particularly strong away from home, but anything can happen to Botafogo at this stage. If Grêmio wins, it'll equal the Cariocas, and in psychological terms, the Gaúchos are much better.

It's anyone's guess how Botafogo will perform in this match. It's known that Tiquinho Soares won't play because he picked up his fifth yellow card, and that's an important absence. The Glorioso also has to play at Vasco da Gama stadium, which doesn't help either. Botafogo might even react and win the game, but it's hard to bet on a team with such poor results. I'm betting on a Double Chance for Grêmio.
